Miller Cup being awarded to the winning team since 1985. The Cup honors Ogden D. Miller who graduated from Williston Academy in 1926. Miller was a Williston Trustee from 1936-1954, and then served as The Gunnery Headmaster from 1945-1969. In 1985 the idea to play the Gunnery-Williston game for the Miller Cup was created by three parties: Nancy Lemcke, a Williston Dean who, with her late husband, served as faculty under Oggie Miller at The Gunnery; Michael Eanes (and his wife Susan), who also served under Mr. Miller at The Gunnery and was The Gunnery Headmaster in 1985; and Denny Grubbs (and his wife Debby) who began his career under Mr. Miller at The Gunnery before becoming Williston\u2019s Headmaster in 1984.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2028\u2028Results:\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1979 Gunnery 14 Williston 13<br \/>\n1980 Gunnery 26 Williston 12<br \/>\n1981 Williston 50 Gunnery 14<br \/>\n1982 Williston 18 Gunnery 8<br \/>\n1983 Williston 23 Gunnery 0<br \/>\n1984 Williston 7 Gunnery 0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ogden D.
